Any information which we give to you shall be deemed as given to each and every party member for whom you are making or have made a booking.
Special Requests
Clients who have special requests must specify such requests. Whilst Perfect Destinations will do its best to accommodate such requests, it does not guarantee that it always can and these are often subject to the suppliers discretion on arrival.
Deposits
A non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking, this will be advised at quotation (certain suppliers require up to 100% pre-payment, this will be advised at time of booking if it applies).
Final Payment

This may vary in the case of certain suppliers, any variation in stipulated terms and conditions will be advised at time of booking.

Reservations and payment:
Payments are due upon confirmation. A non-refundable, non-transferable deposit of 20% of the total land price is payable at the time of making your reservation. The balance of the tour price is payable not less than 10 weeks prior to departure. In addition to the land deposit the total cost of air tickets and airport taxes must be paid by the due date as stipulated on your Perfect Destinations booking form. Perfect Destinations reserves the right to cancel any reservations for which the total amount due has not been received by the due date, in which event the deposit paid will be forfeited to Perfect Destinations. Reservations will only be considered confirmed bookings when the deposit has been received by the Perfect Destinations. Perfect Destinations guarantees the price of land arrangements only once full payment is received, except where subsequent increases are beyond our control. These include but are not limited to change to government taxes.
Cancellations and Curtailment
Land Arrangements (hotels, tours, transfers). All deposits are non-refundable/non-transferable.
In the event of a cancellation, the following cancellation fees will be imposed:
Passengers who cancel at any time prior to departure will forfeit their deposit.
Passengers cancelling within 8 to 4 weeks of the departure date will forfeit their deposit plus up to 40% of the total tour cost
Passengers cancelling within within 4 to 2 weeks of the departure date will forfeit their deposit plus up to 50% of the total tour cost
For cancellations within 2 weeks of the departure date 100% of the total tour cost will be forfeit.
For travel over high or peak season dates, additional cancellation charges may be imposed, subject to charges of the suppliers and airlines.
Air tickets
Cancellation fees apply once air tickets are issued. The cancellation fees range between 25% up to 100% (plus VAT) of the total airfare paid, dependent on the class of travel and the airline concerned. Passengers are reminded that they are responsible for reconfirmation of flights and flight times at least 72 hours prior to departure to ensure the airline has had no schedule or time changes. Failure to reconfirm flights with the airline concerned could lead to the cancellation of the flight reservation. Perfect Destinations is not responsible for the overbooking by airlines resulting in passengers being denied boarding. Providing passengers adhere to check in time, it is the airlines responsibility to reroute or rebook flights.
Amendments to Airline Tickets
Once tickets have been issued; a cancellation fee will be levied by the relevant airline (this fee varies from airline to airline and can range from 25% up to 100% of the fare paid plus VAT) should any changes be requested. Such changes specifically include, but are not necessarily limited to, any changes which are required to be effected due to the incorrect spelling of a passenger’s name, change to travel dates or routing. In some cases, once issued, any changes will result in a 100% cancellation fee. Airlines are non-negotiable to changes post ticket issuance.
Costs
All package pricing is based on 2 adults sharing a room unless detailed otherwise. Supplements may apply for single traveller’s.
Perfect Destinations makes every effort to ensure all details are correct at time of going to press, however reserves the right to make changes to the price as quoted or advertised prior to booking. All costs advertised are based on tariff’s and exchange rates at the time of publishing. There may be a booking fee payable per person for certain services. All such fees will be highlighted to you during the course of making your booking. Please note that there may be taxes levied abroad but not paid at the point of purchase that are payable in relation to your booking e.g. local hotel or airport arrival/departure taxes, we will make every effort to inform you of any additional taxes payable locally however cannot place any guarantee on this amount.
Where applicable, prices are quoted at the ruling daily exchange rate. Until Perfect Destinations has received payment of the Price in full, it reserves the right to charge any fluctuations to the Client’s account and the Client undertakes to pay for any such fluctuation on demand. The onus will be on the Client to check that there have been no changes in the Price prior to making full and final payment. Airfares are subject to the price and conditions quoted by the airlines and are subject to change until full payment has been received.
However, once payment of the price in full has been received, the price is guaranteed provided that the payment was made by midnight on the day that the booking was made. Should the Client be a group booking and the group number deviates from the number required for the Booking, the Principal may reserve the right to re-cost the Price and raise a surcharge. Should any Client refuse to accept and pay such surcharge, it may result in the cancelling of the Booking and retaining of any payment made.
All information contained in the Perfect Destinations website are to the best of our knowledge accurate at the time of publication, but Perfect Destinations accepts no liability for any errors / inaccuracies that may occur.
Should airport/hotel/security/fuel charges/taxes fluctuate, beyond our control, they will be passed on to the client accordingly.

Amendments

All changes are subject to availability, limitations and restrictions of the relevant travel supplier. If the change means that the cost of your booking has increased, the difference will be passed onto you.
Travel Documents
It is the personal responsibility of each passenger to ensure that they are in possession of the correct documentation prior to departure. It is understood that you provided Perfect Destinations with the travellers’ full names as per the travellers’ passports. Once documents have been issued changes (example name corrections) could incur additional financial penalties. Failure to provide the correct names as per passport could result in denied boarding or deportation. You should ensure that you travel with your booking confirmations, e-tickets and any other travel documentation (including your passport and RSA Identity document for domestic flights) at all times. We cannot be liable for any supplier not providing you with the booked product or service if you do not produce such documentation.

For all air travel it is your responsibility to check the departure and arrival times of your flights at the time of travel. Where a sector of a flight itinerary is not used and without contacting the carrier directly to inform them, any remaining sectors may be subject to cancellation by the airline without further notification. This is beyond our control and we are unable to accept responsibility for any costs incurred. You are required to reconfirm your flights with the airline in accordance with the airline’s applicable reconfirmation deadline, this is usually 72 hours prior to departure. We are unable to make any special arrangements for you if you are delayed as these matters are at the sole discretion of the airline concerned.

Flights cannot be held up for passengers arriving late and no responsibility can be accepted by us or the airline in such cases.
